The Fund is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve its investment objective through a combination of a Leveraged Strategy and an Income Generation Strategy. The Leveraged Strategy aims to amplify returns by employing derivatives to achieve exposure to the share price of the Class A common stock of Circle Internet Group, Inc. (“CRCL” or the “Underlying Security”) at daily returns of approximately 150% to 200% of the performance of the Underlying Security, before fees and expenses.

The Income Generation Strategy complements the Leveraged Strategy by utilizing credit call spreads to seek to generate premium income and manage risk associated with the Fund’s leveraged exposure. While these strategies are designed to enhance potential returns and mitigate certain risks, the Income Generation Strategy may limit the upside performance of the Leveraged Strategy on the portion of exposure covered by the credit call spreads.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective primarily by entering into derivatives transactions (i.e., swap agreements and options contracts) to gain long exposure to the Underlying Security. The Fund uses leverage to seek to provide daily returns of approximately 150% to 200% of the performance of the Underlying Security, before fees and expenses. Although the Fund’s leverage will vary, its base, daily target leverage level will be approximately 200%. The Fund’s investment adviser will determine the Fund’s actual leverage level based on market conditions and other factors described below. For example, if volatility in the Underlying Security increases significantly, the Fund may adjust its leverage level to seek to manage risk. Leverage adjustments may also be influenced by operational considerations, such as the availability and cost of derivatives, regulatory constraints, or the overall liquidity of the Underlying Security and associated derivatives markets.

The Fund’s dynamic approach to leverage allows it to remain responsive to market conditions while striving to achieve its stated investment objective.

If the Fund encounters limitations in implementing its strategies, whether due to market conditions, derivative availability, counterparty issues, or other factors, the Fund may not achieve daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to 150% to 200% the performance of the Underlying Security, and may return substantially less during such periods. During such periods, the Fund’s actual leverage levels may differ substantially from its intended leverage target range, both intraday and at the close of trading, potentially resulting in significantly lower returns.

The Fund employs leverage to enhance the total return of its long exposure to the Underlying Security. Under normal market conditions, the Fund’s daily exposure to the Underlying Security is expected to range from approximately 150% to 200% of the Fund’s net assets. This means that for each dollar invested in the Fund, the investor’s exposure to the performance of the Underlying Security will be equivalent to approximately one and a half to two dollars, magnifying the potential gains or losses associated with fluctuations in the price of the Underlying Security.

The term “exposure” refers to the extent to which the Fund’s performance is influenced by changes in the Underlying Security’s value. As a result of the Fund’s leveraged strategy, an investment in the Fund is effectively amplified, allowing investors to potentially benefit from (or incur losses related to) the price movements of the Underlying Security. This approach seeks to provide enhanced returns, though it also carries commensurate risks, including the possibility of amplified losses.

The Fund may utilize swap agreements (bilateral contracts in which the Fund agrees to exchange cash flows or returns with a counterparty based on the performance of the Underlying Security over a specified period) and/or listed options contracts (standardized financial derivatives that give the Fund the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell the Underlying Security at a predetermined price within a specified timeframe) to achieve leveraged exposure. Swap agreements may be entered into with financial institutions for periods ranging from one day to over a year. These agreements involve exchanging the return (or rate-of-return differentials) on the Underlying Security’s share price. The return to be exchanged is calculated with respect to a notional amount (the face value of the instrument), such as the return on or change in value of a specific dollar amount representing the Underlying Security. The swap agreements the Fund may utilize will typically reset on a monthly basis or upon the occurrence of mutually agreed-upon conditions, such as when receivable or payable amounts reach predetermined thresholds relative to the principal. These resets effectively lock in the accumulated performance of the swap agreement up to that point.

The Fund may also employ listed options, such as short-dated (a month or less) in-the-money call options (options with strike prices below the current market price of the Underlying Security, offering immediate intrinsic value), to achieve or supplement its leveraged exposure. These options allow the Fund to dynamically adjust its leverage strategy based on market conditions, liquidity constraints, or pricing considerations for swaps. The ability to incorporate options provides additional flexibility in pursuing the Fund’s daily investment objective, enhancing the Fund’s capacity to respond to various market dynamics.

At the end of each trading day, the Fund’s swaps and options are marked to market (valued based on current market prices), and the Fund’s investment adviser rebalances the portfolio to maintain leveraged exposure of approximately 150% to 200% of the Underlying Security’s share price. This rebalancing ensures alignment with the Fund’s investment objective.

The performance of the Fund over periods exceeding a single day is influenced by several factors, including:

a) the volatility of the Underlying Security; 

b) the Underlying Security’s overall performance; 

c) the duration of the investment period; 

d) financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; and 

e) other Fund expenses.

The Fund will write (sell) credit call spreads (described below) to generate premium income and manage risk associated with its leveraged exposure to the Underlying Security’s share price. A credit call spread involves selling a call option while simultaneously buying a call option with a higher strike price, both with the same expiration date. By writing credit call spreads, the Fund can potentially offset losses incurred from its short call positions if the Underlying Security’s share price rises above the upper strike price.

The Fund’s credit call spreads are generally implemented on approximately 100% of the Fund’s net notional exposure to the Underlying Security. For instance, if the Fund employs leverage of 200%, half of the Fund’s effective exposure to the Underlying Security will be offset by the call spread, limiting upside participation for that portion of the exposure. While the strategy reduces the potential for gains from leveraged increases in the Underlying Security’s price, it generates premium income and mitigates risk through predefined limits on losses.

Portfolio Attributes

The Fund will seek to provide income distributions at least monthly in the form of cash.

The Fund will hold assets to serve as collateral for the Fund’s derivatives investments. For those collateral holdings, the Fund may invest in (1) U.S. Government securities, such as bills, notes and bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury; (2) money market funds; (3) short term bond ETFs; and/or (4) corporate debt securities, such as commercial paper and other short-term unsecured promissory notes issued by businesses that are rated investment grade or of comparable quality.

The Fund has adopted a policy to have at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in financial instruments that provide financial exposure to the Underlying Security. For purposes of compliance with this 80% policy, derivatives will be valued at notional value. The Fund is expected to have a high annual portfolio turnover rate.

The Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the 1940 Act.

There is no guarantee that the Fund’s investment strategy will be properly implemented, and an investor may lose some or all of its investment.

The Fund is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve its investment objective through a combination of a Leveraged Strategy and an Income Generation Strategy. The Leveraged Strategy aims to amplify returns by employing derivatives to achieve exposure to the share price of unaffiliated passively managed ETFs (“Index ETFs”) that seek to track the performance of the Nasdaq 100 Index (the “Index”) at daily levels ranging from 150% to 200% of the performance of the Index ETFs, before fees and expenses.

In pursuing the Leveraged Strategy, the Fund will invest primarily in swap agreements or option contracts on (i) shares of the Index ETFs and/or (ii) shares of individual component securities of the Index (each such share an “Underlying Security” and collectively, the “Underlying Securities”). The Fund may also invest directly in the Underlying Securities.

The Income Generation Strategy complements the Leveraged Strategy by utilizing credit call spreads to seek to generate premium income and manage risk associated with the Fund’s leveraged exposure. While these strategies are designed to enhance potential returns and mitigate certain risks, the Income Generation Strategy may limit the upside performance of the Leveraged Strategy on the portion of exposure covered by the credit call spreads.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective primarily by entering into derivatives transactions (i.e., swap agreements and options contracts) in the Underlying Securities to indirectly gain long exposure to the Index. The Fund uses leverage to seek to provide daily returns of approximately 150% to 200% of the performance of the Index, before fees and expenses. Although the Fund’s leverage will vary, its base, daily target leverage level will be approximately 200%.

During such periods, the Fund’s actual leverage levels may differ substantially from its intended leverage target range, both intraday and at the close of trading, potentially resulting in significantly lower returns.

The Fund employs leverage to enhance the total return of its long exposure to the Index via the Underlying Securities. Under normal market conditions, the Fund’s daily exposure to the Index (via the Underlying Securities) is expected to range from approximately 150% to 200% of the Fund’s net assets. This means that for each dollar invested in the Fund, the investor’s exposure to the performance of the Index (via the Underlying Securities) will be equivalent to approximately one and a half to two dollars, magnifying the potential gains or losses associated with fluctuations in the price of any Underlying Security.

The term “exposure” refers to the extent to which the Fund’s performance is influenced by changes in any Underlying Security’s value.

While the strategy reduces the potential for gains from leveraged increases in any Underlying Security’s price, it generates premium income and mitigates risk through predefined limits on losses.

An investment in the Fund is not an investment in the Index, nor is the Fund an investment in a traditional passively managed index fund.

The Fund’s strategy is subject to all potential losses if the Index loses value, which may not be offset by income received by the Fund.

Additional information regarding the Index is also set forth below.

THE FUND, TRUST AND ADVISER ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH, NOR ENDORSED BY, THE INDEX.

Index Overview: The Nasdaq 100 Index is a benchmark index that includes 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, based on market capitalization. This makes it a large-cap index, meaning its constituents have a high market value, often in the billions of dollars.

The Index includes companies from various industries but is heavily weighted towards the technology sector. This reflects the Nasdaq’s historic strength as a listing venue for tech companies. Other sectors represented include consumer discretionary, health care, communication services, and industrials, among others.

In terms of volatility, like all stock indices, the Index experiences daily price movements and can be significantly volatile at times. This is often driven by macroeconomic factors, market sentiment, and financial results or news from its large constituents. Historical periods of significant volatility include the dot-com bubble burst around 2000 and the global financial crisis of 2007-2008, among other events. However, the specific degree of volatility can vary and is subject to change based on market conditions.

Due to the Fund’s investment strategy, to the extent the Index is concentrated in a particular industry or group of industries, the Fund’s economic exposure will be concentrated in the same industry or group of industries.

The Fund is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve its investment objective through a combination of a Leveraged Strategy and an Income Generation Strategy. The Leveraged Strategy aims to amplify returns by employing derivatives to achieve exposure to the share price (i.e., the price returns) of one or more select U.S.-listed exchange-traded products (“ETPs”) that seek exposure to ether, which is a digital asset (each an “Underlying ETP” and collectively, the “Underlying ETPs”) at daily levels ranging from 150% to 200% of the performance of the Underlying ETPs.

In pursuing the Leveraged Strategy, the Fund will invest primarily in swap agreements or option contracts on shares of the Underlying ETPs. The Fund may also invest directly in certain Underlying ETPs only to the extent that they (i) do not hold ether directly and (ii) achieve exposure to ether indirectly via derivatives.

The Income Generation Strategy complements the Leveraged Strategy by utilizing credit call spreads to seek to generate premium income and manage risk associated with the Fund’s leveraged exposure. While these strategies are designed to enhance potential returns and mitigate certain risks, the Income Generation Strategy may limit the upside performance of the Leveraged Strategy on the portion of exposure covered by the credit call spreads.

The Fund does not invest directly in ether or any other digital assets. The Fund does not invest directly in derivatives that track the performance of ether or any other digital assets. The Fund does not invest in or seek direct exposure to the current “spot” or cash price of ether. Investors seeking direct exposure to the price of ether should consider an investment other than the Fund.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by entering into derivatives transactions (i.e., swap agreements and options contracts) to gain long exposure to the Underlying ETPs. The Fund uses leverage to seek to provide daily returns of approximately 150% to 200% of the performance of the Underlying ETPs, before fees and expenses. Although the Fund’s leverage will vary, its base, daily target leverage level will be approximately 200%. The Fund’s investment adviser will determine the Fund’s actual leverage level based on market conditions and other factors described below. For example, if volatility in the Underlying ETPs increases significantly, the Fund may adjust its leverage level to seek to manage risk. Leverage adjustments may also be influenced by operational considerations, such as the availability and cost of derivatives, regulatory constraints, or the overall liquidity of the Underlying ETPs and associated derivatives markets.

The Fund’s dynamic approach to leverage allows it to remain responsive to market conditions while striving to achieve its stated investment objective.

If the Fund encounters limitations in implementing its strategies, whether due to market conditions, derivative availability, counterparty issues, or other factors, the Fund may not achieve daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to 150% to 200% the performance of the Underlying ETPs, and may return substantially less during such periods. During such periods, the Fund’s actual leverage levels may differ substantially from its intended leverage target range, both intraday and at the close of trading, potentially resulting in significantly lower returns.

The Fund employs leverage to enhance the total return of its long exposure to the Underlying ETPs. Under normal market conditions, the Fund’s daily exposure to the Underlying ETPs is expected to range from approximately 150% to 200% of the Fund’s net assets. This means that for each dollar invested in the Fund, the investor’s exposure to the performance of the Underlying ETPs will be equivalent to approximately one and a half to two dollars, magnifying the potential gains or losses associated with fluctuations in the price of the Underlying ETPs.

The term “exposure” refers to the extent to which the Fund’s performance is influenced by changes in the Underlying ETPs’ value. As a result of the Fund’s leveraged strategy, an investment in the Fund is effectively amplified, allowing investors to potentially benefit from (or incur losses related to) the price movements of the Underlying ETPs. This approach seeks to provide enhanced returns, though it also carries commensurate risks, including the possibility of amplified losses.

The Fund may utilize swap agreements (bilateral contracts in which the Fund agrees to exchange cash flows or returns with a counterparty based on the performance of the Underlying ETPs over a specified period) and/or listed options contracts (standardized financial derivatives that give the Fund the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell the Underlying ETPs at a predetermined price within a specified timeframe) to achieve leveraged exposure. Swap agreements may be entered into with financial institutions for periods ranging from one day to over a year. These agreements involve exchanging the return (or rate-of-return differentials) on the Underlying ETPs’ share price. The return to be exchanged is calculated with respect to a notional amount (the face value of the instrument), such as the return on or change in value of a specific dollar amount representing the Underlying ETPs. The swap agreements the Fund may utilize will typically reset on a monthly basis or upon the occurrence of mutually agreed-upon conditions, such as when receivable or payable amounts reach predetermined thresholds relative to the principal. These resets effectively lock in the accumulated performance of the swap agreement up to that point.

The Fund may also employ listed options, such as short-dated (a month or less) in-the-money call options (options with strike prices below the current market price of the Underlying ETPs, offering immediate intrinsic value), to achieve or supplement its leveraged exposure. These options allow the Fund to dynamically adjust its leverage strategy based on market conditions, liquidity constraints, or pricing considerations for swaps. The ability to incorporate options provides additional flexibility in pursuing the Fund’s daily investment objective, enhancing the Fund’s capacity to respond to various market dynamics.

At the end of each trading day, the Fund’s swaps and options are marked to market (valued based on current market prices), and the Fund’s investment adviser rebalances the portfolio to maintain leveraged exposure of approximately 150% to 200% of the Underlying ETPs’ share price. This rebalancing ensures alignment with the Fund’s investment objective.

The performance of the Fund over periods exceeding a single day is influenced by several factors, including:

a) the volatility of the Underlying ETPs; 

b) the Underlying ETPs’ overall performance; 

c) the duration of the investment period; 

d) financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; and 

e) other Fund expenses.

The Fund will write (sell) credit call spreads (described below) to generate premium income and manage risk associated with its leveraged exposure to the Underlying ETPs’ share price. A credit call spread involves selling a call option while simultaneously buying a call option with a higher strike price, both with the same expiration date. By writing credit call spreads, the Fund can potentially offset losses incurred from its short call positions if the Underlying ETPs’ share price rises above the upper strike price.

The Fund’s credit call spreads are generally implemented on approximately 100% of the Fund’s net notional exposure to the Underlying ETPs. For instance, if the Fund employs leverage of 200%, half of the Fund’s effective exposure to the Underlying ETPs will be offset by the call spread, limiting upside participation for that portion of the exposure. While the strategy reduces the potential for gains from leveraged increases in the Underlying ETPs’ price, it generates premium income and mitigates risk through predefined limits on losses.

Portfolio Attributes

The Fund will seek to provide income distributions at least monthly in the form of cash.

The Fund will hold assets to serve as collateral for the Fund’s derivatives investments. For those collateral holdings, the Fund may invest in (1) U.S. Government securities, such as bills, notes and bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury; (2) money market funds; (3) short term bond ETFs; and/or (4) corporate debt securities, such as commercial paper and other short-term unsecured promissory notes issued by businesses that are rated investment grade or of comparable quality.

The Fund has adopted a policy to have at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in financial instruments that provide financial exposure to the Underlying ETPs. For purposes of compliance with this 80% policy, derivatives will be valued at notional value. The Fund is expected to have a high annual portfolio turnover rate.

The Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the 1940 Act.

There is no guarantee that the Fund’s investment strategy will be properly implemented, and an investor may lose some or all of its investment.

Due to the Fund’s investment strategy, the Fund’s will have economic exposure that is concentrated (i.e., more than 25% of its total assets) to the industry or group of industries, if any, assigned to Ethereum.

Information About Ether

As noted above, the Fund does not invest directly in ether or any other digital assets. The Fund does not invest directly in derivatives that track the performance of ether or any other digital assets. The Fund does not invest in or seek direct exposure to the current “spot” or cash price of ether. Investors seeking direct exposure to the price of ether should consider an investment other than the Fund. However, the Underlying ETPs may invest directly or indirectly (e.g., via futures) in ether. The following provides an overview of ether, the Ethereum Blockchain, the relationship between the two, as well as their use cases.

Ether Description

Ether is a digital asset which serves as the unit of account on an open-source, decentralized, peer-to-peer computer network. Ether may be used to pay for goods and services, stored for future use, or converted to a government-issued currency. As of the date of this Prospectus, the adoption of ether for these purposes has been limited. The value of ether is not backed by any government, corporation, or other identified body.

The value of ether is determined in part by the supply of and demand for, ether in the markets for exchange that have been organized to facilitate the trading of ether. Ether is the second largest digital asset by market capitalization behind bitcoin.

Ether is maintained on the decentralized, open source, peer-to-peer computer network (“Ethereum Network”). No single entity owns or operates the Ethereum Network. The Ethereum Network is accessed through software and governs the creation and movement of ether. The source code for the Ethereum Network is open-source, and anyone can contribute to its development.

Ethereum Network

The infrastructure of the Ethereum Network is collectively maintained by participants in the Ethereum Network, which include validators, developers, and users. Validators validate transactions and are currently compensated for that service in ether, as determined by the Ethereum Protocol. Developers maintain and contribute updates to the Ethereum Network’s source code. Users access the Ethereum Network using open-source software. Anyone can be a user, developer, or validator.

Ether is maintained on a digital transaction ledger commonly known as a “blockchain.” A blockchain is a type of shared and continually reconciled database, stored in a decentralized manner on the computers of certain users of the digital asset and is protected by cryptography. The Ethereum blockchain contains a record and history for each ether transaction.

The Ethereum blockchain allows for the creation of decentralized applications that are supported by a transaction protocol referred to as “smart contracts,” which includes the cryptographic operations that verify and secure ether transactions. A smart contract operates by a pre-defined set of rules (i.e., “if/then statements”) that allows it to automatically execute code on the Ethereum Network. Such actions taken by the pre-defined set of rules are not necessarily contractual in nature but are intended to eliminate the need for a third party to carry out code execution on behalf of users, making the system decentralized, allowing decentralized application developers to create a wide range of applications. Requiring payment in Ether on the Ethereum Network incentivizes developers to write quality applications and increases the efficiency of the Ethereum Network because wasteful code costs more. It also ensures that the Ethereum Network remains economically viable by compensating people for their contributed computational resources.

Ethereum Protocol

The Ethereum Protocol is an open source project with no official company or group in control. Anyone can review the underlying code and suggest changes. Because there is no central authority, the release of updates to the Ethereum Protocol source code by developers does not guarantee that the updates will be automatically adopted by the other participants. Users and validators must accept any changes made to the source code by downloading the proposed modification and that modification is effective only with respect to those ether users and validators who choose to download it. As a practical matter, a modification to the source code becomes part of the Ethereum Network only if it is accepted by validators that collectively represent a supermajority (two-thirds) of the cumulative validations on the Ethereum blockchain.

If a modification is accepted by only a portion of users and validators, a division will occur such that one network will run the pre-modification source code and the other network will run the modified source code. Such a division is known as a “fork.”

New ether is created through “staking” of ether by validators. Validators are required to stake ether in order to perform validation activities and then, as a reward, earn newly created ether. Validation activities include verifying transactions, storing data, and adding to the Ethereum blockchain. Further, with its collective computing power on the distributed network, the Ethereum network provides the ability to execute peer-to-peer transactions to realize, via smart contracts, automatic, conditional transfer of value and information, including money, voting rights, and property.

None of the Fund, Tidal Trust II (the “Trust”), the Adviser, or their respective affiliates makes any representation to you as to the performance of any Underlying ETPs or ether.
